Colombia posters tackle sex abuse

bufalo says on Sep 27, 2007, 17:47:

Been saying it for years. sex abuse down here is socially acceptable behavior, as much as they say it isn't...

I'd go on with examples, but why repeat

I wonder what you think about this particular side of the issue though.

I don't believe these posters exist in the U.S. or in Europe, as far as I can tell.

Quote: sex abusers (for lack of a better term, since "offenders" is too generic).

Thats a good unbrella term, just add the word - child to sex abusers..

Colombia does have a problem with Child molestation but I think it not as prevalient as in other parts of the world.

Five a day,, ha, ha, ha,, probably more like 100 plus in a city the size of Bogota.

The abusers probably didn't think it was a problem 20 years ago but times change.

In 30 years Colombians will be North American Clones, then again, maybe not.

The billboards are OK with me. I think billboards is a better term than "posters". Gezzz, I thought PBH might be involved.

Not sure about their rights,, but small signs erected along the street at eye level might be more effective. Like the old Burma Shave signs only using the latest technology,, Hummmm, the signs is a better idea. More folks read them.



In the rural areas cars with loud speakers making the announcement while they drive down the street would be the best, plus folks could make a little money.

Sexual abuse of minors does not happen in Colombia. It's just a gringo issue because they live in a sick perverted society of freaks. Colombians are wholesome kind people who would never do anything like this.

With my mind, I am against those posters. Although, a side of me like it.

you must be kidding right...you don't think we actually believe you...you should listen to the Colombian news more often...e.g. father screwing their 5-10 year old daughter...uncles rape nieces.....it s all over the news....no different than any other part of the world

It annoys me that there is quite a stink going on these posters, something about the rights of these offenders, so what about the little girls and boys they assaulted's rights? It's absurd, I say keep they up and put some more up!
John_stark, my oh my are you living in a lovely bubble...and by lovely I mean completely naive and totally wrong.

Say what you will about him but John is not naive. Lauthra in this case was the naive one to miss that obvious irony.

admittedly, arriving can feel great too

The posters don't exist over here (UK) occasionally the addresses of child molesters are leaked, resulting in the community taking matters into their own hands.

Here there is a massive problem with pedophiles, when they are convicted it is rarely the answer as soon enough they are out offending again, living in neighbourhoods where parents have no idea, in the summer here they go to the beaches and sit and watch the kids even though they may be tagged or know they are being watched by the police, most re-offend when out of prison.

It seems if the government can't deal with them then let the community, I don't believe in violence to resolve matters, but seen as there is no way to control their sick desires and them taking any given opportunty maybe death to them is the only answer.

I read somewhere that in France, they are given a drug that deadens their sexual appetite but when offenders are out they do not take their prescription, of course
